school bus this morning, it's going to look the same, but it's not going to sound the same the way the district is turning the page in its long term commitment to helping our climate in crisis, plus a trauma center in the south bay downgraded the major concerns from the community when it comes to medical emergencies. ojai bailey, a final look at the epic end to the summer games, with last night's closing ceremony and paris passing the torch to

los angeles this is today in the bay here we are monday morning without the olympics. good morning to you all out there. i'm marcus washington and i'm laura garcia, but still some highlights coming. yes. and a look forward to when the games come to los angeles. here we go. all right. looking forward to a monday morning i don't know that's up to you. let's check the forecast though. the weather is still pretty nice. so i think that makes it easier to get out of bed when you know, it's going to be a really nice day, very comfortable. and it's cool for the at least the start. right now we're in the mid 50s in san francisco, clouds and fog, but it is clear in walnut creek and in palo alto. a few clouds to start. it's now 61 degrees in san jose. and then as we take a look outside in walnut creek, a beautiful start to this monday. it's going to be in the low 60s, and whatever clouds that we're seeing will quickly clear out. and temperatures today for the most part, staying in the 70s,

we don't always get days like this, and we are going to be slightly cooler than what's normal for this date, but we're still hitting some mid to upper 80s in a few spots, so we'll be watching out for warmer temperatures ahead. mike, you've been watching the roads and a few issues popping up. yeah, the bay bridge had a big backup early on because of a car fire that was reported on the incline. the backup quickly filled in the toll plaza, and i believe they slowed the metering lights down for a bit. they may be speeding them up now, because in the last minute and a half i've seen all lanes cleared. now moving smoothly into san francisco. the earlier car fire was on the right shoulder here on the incline. again, there's recovery to happen at the bay bridge as the build comes in. so we'll see how that shakes out. timing is critical as far as the rest of the contra costa and alameda county is coming in toward that focus. everything else is pretty standard. back to you. all right. thank you very much, mike. well, in just a few hours, tens of thousands of kids will be headed back to school in oakland. and that's where nbc bay area's bob redell joins us live. bob, the district's debuting some new electric busses to try to help move things forward. correct. good

morning. laura. oakland unified is the first school district in the united states to go fully electric with its 74 new school busses. these are being provided by a school transportation company based in redwood city. that company is called zoom. zoom and oakland unified will also pilot a new program in which the power stored in the batteries of those ev busses will be sold back to the california electrical grid, just like we do with the excess power generated by our solar panels at home. so when the busses are plugged in back at their base instead of the one way charge in the vehicle, the school busses will be able to send their battery power back to the grid through zoom's charging infrastructure. they call this bidirectional charging. a zoom estimates that 2.1gw hours of electricity of energy can be sent back from the batteries to the california grid. now, we recently spoke with someone with zoom. they tell us that school busses are not keeping up with

what families want. this is according to zoom's third annual survey of parents. the survey also found that parents want improvement in other areas as well. we want tech enabled solutions, 80% of parents said. i want an app. why can i track an amazon package or my uber, but not my children and that lack of technology also really impacts reliability. 53% of parents said, you know what? my kid missed school because we didn't know whether or not the bus was coming. and back to the school busses sending power back to the grid. zoom says that san francisco unified and los angeles unified are also expected to participate in that program at some point. reporting live bob redell today in the bay. all right, bob, thank you. it is 604 for you this morning. and also happening today. a long promised downgrade this is to the trauma center in san jose's regional medical center, hca healthcare. well, originally

they planned to close it completely, but in a compromise reached last month, the company agreed to downgrade it to a category three trauma center. one hospital spokesperson says it will continue to provide emergency services for all of its patients, but critics argue that the trauma services will now be on the scale of some of those rural hospitals with the closest level one trauma center now miles away at valley medical. well, turning now to decision 2024. vice president kamala harris waking up in our nation's capitol. this is after a visit to san francisco capping off stops in five battleground states. her fundraiser yesterday, held at the fairmont hotel, marked her first trip to the bay area since becoming the democratic presidential nominee. tv crews were not allowed inside the sold out event, but many state and local leaders were there, including governor newsom and house lawmaker nancy pelosi. the campaign raised more than $12 million and left harris supporters energized. it's very exciting. all different age

groups are supporting her and it just seems like there's a real momentum and a real positive energy. she'll be great and she cares and she's, you know, she's smart and she's tough. i mean, you can't be a prosecutor here like she was and not be a strong, terrific person. the vice president is now preparing for next week's democratic national convention. that is where she will formally accept the party's nomination. well, in the meantime, harris is actually facing some new claims from the trump campaign. it follows statements that harris actually made at a rally saturday, where she claims she pledged to eliminate taxes on tips for service workers. now, later on, his truth social site, trump said accused her of actually copying him and policy idea that he had. well, turning now to the 2024 olympic games and cleanup is already underway this morning

in paris after the closing of the ceremony, the closing ceremony of the games. crews started the process of clearing the venues today. workers cleared the metal barriers and opened up the streets to traffic this morning and it was a spectacular sendoff there in paris, the city of light living up to its name tenfold there, the closing ceremony. and it also included stanford alum katie ledecky, now the most decorated female u.s. olympian ever, representing team usa as one of the flag bearers. joining her is rower nick mead, who actually helped win gold as part of the men's four. now, this is the first time that's happened with the u.s. since 1960. the closing ceremony also featured a tribute to the ancient games in athens. it also included the assembling of five olympic rings representing athletes from five inhabited continents for the ramparts, we like are a daughter

of the bay area vallejo's own, her performing the national anthem to mark the next summer games, which will be here in california down in los angeles. now, the last part of the spectacular show was previously filmed by tom cruise. there, he's adoring the hollywood sign with the olympic rings. there you see, ceremony also showed a glimpse of a nearby long beach with snoop dogg and doctor dre at the end of a rendition of frank sinatra's my way by french singer issa at the la opening ceremony is scheduled for july 14th, 2028. meanwhile, the olympics well, the controversy there brewing this is over. the bronze medalist in the floor exercise for women's gymnastics. that's right. we're talking about jordan chiles. she's being ordered to actually give the medal back. but team usa is certainly fighting it. so what happened? chiles actually placed fifth, but her coaches appealed

the score and then she was boosted into third place. but an appeal from romania claiming the appeal came four seconds too late. it's supposed to happen within a minute happened, they say at a minute and four seconds. now the ioc actually reversed the order, giving the bronze back to romanian justice. now ana barbosa. usa gymnastics issued a statement saying it possesses time stamped video evidence proving the inquiry was submitted on time. they're demanding she keep both the score and the medal. a final decision may actually be months or even years away. well, taking a look at the final medal count this morning after 19 days of competition, 257 american athletes stepped up on that podium for a total of 126 medals. that's the most ever for u.s. team in a non-boycotted game outside of the u.s. team usa tied with china for the most

gold medals, with both countries winning 40 each. paris also marked the first time there's been a draw for gold medals in the summer games. fun games. it was all right. well, let's take a live look back here at home at san rafael this morning as we get started with your monday, meteorologist kari hall has been checking that forecast for us, starting out nice and comfortable for us out there. yes. and we have a lot more kids heading back to school today. so we're going to keep it in the north bay starting out with santa rosa at 53 degrees. and we're seeing 50s all across the bay area. but a chilly start to the morning and it will be mostly cloudy there, but eventually clearing out as the kids are heading out for lunch and then at pick up time will be in the mid 70s and sunny. it's going to be really nice for that first day of school, but make sure they're dressed with a jacket in the morning and then maybe some short sleeves for later. today. we're going to continue to see more of this comfortable weather that we had from over the weekend. so most of us in the 60s and 70s from the coast to the inland east bay, and then some spots in the

mid 80s. for this afternoon, we'll take a look at slightly warmer temperatures ahead, but hopefully, mike, your numbers are going down at the gas pump. not so much as much as other areas anyway. but we'll let the parents know because they may have to fill up for that drop off this morning. let's take a mountain view the mv and mvla right. they start school this week or today actually. and so we'll talk about the price at dimond gas in march for 15 on east evelyn avenue. meanwhile in oakland oakland and piedmont start today. you're back to school. philip is best is at 419. it's go gas and food on mountain boulevard. and the bottom number here is in sonoma county. that's their low. santa rosa has a 4.39 at golf on sonoma highway. so welcome back to school for those two north bay districts. as well. let's get out to the roadways where traffic is moving pretty smoothly. now that the issue on the bay bridge has cleared the earlier car fire, you still see some slowing there on the incline. the backup at the bay bridge toll plaza looks standard, but it's actually great. it's back to standard because traffic is moving in those middle lanes. we had that car fire on the incline, no

injuries reported and everything's cleared. but there is a backup going in toward the berkeley curve. now back to you. good to know. thanks, mike. it is 611 right now. coming up next on today in the bay. possible new relief for anyone with food allergies. there is a new nasal spray just approved by the fda to stop dangerous allergic reactions. plus false claims about real pictures ai making its way to these campaigns. we'll take a look when we come back. and a look at the futures this morning. not looking too bad there. we'll have more of that. scott's got you covered. plus thousands flock to outside lands at golden gate park. we've got a lot to look at when it comes to those viral moments of the weekend. festival and the fashion that may have stolen the show. we'll be right back. keep it right here

switch today for a limited time.

oakland today. it's going to be in the mid 50s and mostly cloudy for the start of the morning, and some times of sunshine for the afternoon with a really beautiful day ahead. highs in the mid 60s here. we'll get a look at all of our microclimates and slightly warmer valley temperatur midweek. coming up in a few minutes. my concern is heading out of oakland as we look at the berkeley curve and off of the east bay feeder, the bay bridge approaching the toll plaza. a lot of slowing on the sensors there. an earlier car fire caused a big backup early getting on to the bay bridge.

that fire car fire has cleared without any injuries. we're watching the slowdown at the berkeley curve and the maze coming up. well good morning. very happy monday to you. we get very important inflation data on wednesday. the consumer product consumer price index if that inflation data shows that inflation continues to sink, everything's going to be fine. if on the other hand it shows that inflation is still a problem, that could be devastating both for wall street and for investors, because they're just counting on the fed lowering interest rates in september, hertz's electronic arts in redwood city it releases its madden football game on friday. this is truth social. it is down just a bit. truth social on friday announced that it had lost $16 million no profit. meantime elon musk says he will interview donald trump on x today. trump calls musk a full

throated supporter. musk, for his part, says he's making sure x can handle the traffic, tweeting i am going to do some system scaling tests tonight and tomorrow in advance of the conversation with donald trump. you may recall florida governor ron desantis tried to launch his campaign on x with an interview, and it was a complete disaster. audio problems, listeners getting kicked off the platform just generally didn't go well in sacramento. the legislature is back to work today after its summer break. considering a number of bills that deal with artificial intelligence, including the creation of ai detection tools and a prohibition on using children's data to program ai. meantime, california and other states propose bills that tend to be ahead of the game, but many tech companies say they'd prefer a federal set of regulations. so the rules are the same for all states. speaking of ai, donald trump says this picture of that

massive crowd greeting vice president harris in detroit is fake. it's not fake. trump though, obviously very concerned about harris's crowd size, trying to find some way to explain it to his supporters and perhaps himself. writing has anyone noticed that kamala cheated at the airport? there was nobody at the plane. she eyed it and then showed a massive crowd of so-called followers. but they didn't exist. here's a look at that crowd again. experts have taken a look at the photographs, said there's no evidence of manipulation, but more importantly, there were thousands upon thousands of people there. tv networks, various police agencies, the faa, and they can all testify to the crowd size. we were talking about this earlier. there are two dangers of ai. one is that, you know, something will be faked and it looks authentic, etc. the other one is that people will be able to take things that are real, 100% genuine and say, that's not real, right? same way trump. by the way, you may recall, actually now says his bus conversation on access hollywood

may have been ai. he apologized for it. remember, that was way before we before he i existed. i existed, right? yep. all right. thank you scott. you bet. some people are, and that's just what they'll do one of these days. these boots are gonna walk all over you. oh, yeah. the stars came out. they're outside lands this weekend, so sabrina carpenter is not only celebrating the song of the summer espresso, but she's actually also leaving her fans breathless at concerts outside lands. really? the latest example there over at golden gate park this weekend. on saturday, she brought out grammy award winner kacey musgraves for an encore. you heard right there what they saying. they sang nancy sinatra's these boots were made for walking musgraves not part of the three day bill. so you know, sabrina got some star power there to bring her out. rajeev remati are you can tell

me hearts are gaugh new pop sensation chaperon was on the bill. actually not as a headliner, but with songs like hot to go, red wine supernova. she packed in those crowds. yesterday, the chronicle counted some 50,000 people watching her performance, along with the 75,000 of total fans attending. she was at lollapalooza and just had a huge crowd there too, but really catchy tunes that she has. okay, but it wasn't just the music taking center stage at golden gate park. let's just say a lot of folks had an eclectic take on what they wore over at the field look. so you see right there, i actually like this. i would rock that. okay. reminds me, you see taylor. yeah, very eclectic outfits though. we're in san francisco the weekend many attending not afraid to make statements through their clothing, spotting bold colors. they're giving a nod to the past with their outfits. very retro. i like that too, but i think it's. i mean, people dress up now for. i mean, yeah, they dress up maybe just. but now

it's like costumes and boas and others and you know, it's not to the 60s and 70s, you know, it's. yeah, i like when you said boas, you had a little bit of affectation on there, did i? because i wore a bow tie. harry styles, you know what i mean? i mean, it's fun to dress up and kind of like, you know, did i can't say boa without saying boa. boa yeah. there you go. and boots and you can dress it down like this i love it. and then you could do something like, i could see a grandmother wearing that too. that's you. that's great. it was a gift. yes it was beautiful. i liked it, you know. whoa. bowled him over. it was so nice. i was i almost fell out of my seat. what are you gonna knock australia off of that breaking news? oh, my. you better take it away. carey 2032. all right, quick, look out there. because we are going to have kids heading back to school today. and that's been what we've been watching out for. just also a heads up that there will be more people walking across the street and some of those crosswalk zones as well. we're going to see temperatures

in the upper 50s getting started in palo alto. and mid 50s in san francisco, and it's going to be a really comfortable day for san jose, as the more the students are coming back online with the franklin-mckinley school district also bringing the kids back today, it'll be in the low 60s at drop-off time. and then in that car pickup line, so comfortable with sunshine will be in the mid 70s. and then as we take a look around the bay area, temperatures very much like what they were yesterday with a high of 79 in livermore, 75 in moraga. and we'll see some low 80s for areas like napa and santa rosa, while novato stays in the 70s and then into the day tomorrow, we'll start to see a slight boost in some of those temperatures. and instead of some mid 80s, we'll start to see some mid to upper 80s for spots like concord and fairfield and then 90s midweek. so only a few of us making it into the 90s. some spots for the peninsula and along the coast. still comfortable, high pressure moving in, but we will have a big change for the weekend with

a cooler pattern ahead and even some rain in the pacific northwest as this low comes down the coast. looking at napa, here's what we're looking at once again. midweek temperatures come up several degrees, but still not anything close to any records or well above normal. it's just going to be slightly warmer. and then we're back down for the weekend and then starting to see those steps coming back up for next week. but overall, we are not looking at any really significant changes here. we're going from mid 80s to upper 80s and then back to the mid 80s for the weekend. mike, you've been watching the roads and a couple of problem spots. yeah, we had an early slowdown on 87. it turned out there was a minor crash or maybe a disabled vehicle just north of 280. so coming in toward downtown san jose. and that caused a bit of a backup early as the burst hit, it just cleared up and so did the incident. so great timing. 101 also actually cleared. so the south bay once again cleared to the next burst starts in just about 20 minutes. meanwhile, the east bay pretty standard and getting over from the berkeley curve. we had a recovery after

the earlier car fire caused a slow down on the span. there may be a new crash in san francisco. we'll check on it. back to you. thanks, mike. coming up next on today in the bay we're talking about a needle free alternative. when it comes to allergic reactions. up next, we're going to take a look at a newly approved nasal spray that could provide relief to millions. 623 we'll be right in 16 years, with friends he's already meeting now. at aarp volunteer and community events.

to help make sure his happiness lives as long as he does. the younger you are, the more you need aarp.

ok, 500 deluxe garden gnomes. wow. i only meant to order five. there's not enough money in my account for these. i'm gonna get charged. two things i just can't deal with. overdraft charges. and garden gnomes. but your bmo smart advantage checking account gives you an extra day to avoid an overdraft fee. nice to see a bank cutting people some slack. mistakes happen. and we give you time to correct them. so, you don't like gnomes huh? what about that one? that one i like. a lot. ♪ bmo ♪ it takes a rebel to make something beautiful. beauty takes courage. it's an act of joy. so resist the ordinary. and embrace the wow. at floor & decor.

alternative to treating severe allergic reactions. it is called nef and its makers say it acts like an epipen and it's approved for anyone who weighs more than 66 pounds on today. this morning, nbc news medical contributor doctor john torres says the rollout should come soon. the manufacturer, ares pharmaceuticals, says this product, which is called nef, will be available probably within eight weeks. and so they'll be able to get it. you should be able to carry it's going to be much easier to carry. you just in your pocket, in your purse, wherever it's right. now they're saying $199. is it going to be the cash price for two of these devices? if you have insurance, $25 and they say if you can't afford that, they will certainly work with people because they want to make sure people have this a lot easier than the epipen. it sounds like the spray aims to treat anaphylaxis, which sends an estimated 30,000 people to the emergency room every year. that's when the body's immune system develops a sudden,

unexpected reaction to a foreign substance, such as food, insect stings or medications. you can watch a full interview with doctor torres coming up on today. it's ahead at 7:00, right after today in the bay. well, a lot more ahead for you this morning as we head into our 630 newscast. meteorologist kari hall has a look at what you can expect as your kids head out the door as they return to school today. also, an impending deadline to surrender. the rally, set to take place in support of the protesters now charged with shutting down the golden gate bridge earlier this year. and the governor wants your kids to keep their cell phones in their backpacks throughout the school day, we'll talk about a new policy exploration and how one superintendent says maybe ditching the technology isn't the right solution. you're watching today in the bay

who shut down the golden gate bridge this year have until today to turn themselves in. the new charges they face and the advocates coming to their defense. california considering a possible ban on phones in the classroom. but will that keep students focused? we hear from one bay area superintendent about what that may be possible in today's tech driven world. la bound the olympics games now

low 80s. dublin today 77 degrees and we'll see some mid 80s for parts of the south county. so we'll be tracking all of those changes. a gradual warm up is coming our way for the middle of the week. we'll have a look at that coming up in a few minutes. all right. thanks, gary. well, happening in a few hours. 26 protesters charged in the april shutdown of the golden gate bridge. well, they are expected to surrender to authorities. it follows the weekend announcement by san francisco da brooke jenkins. today in the bay's ginger conejero saab live for us in san francisco this morning. and ginger, what comes next now? well good morning marcus. arrest warrants have been issued for each of those protesters. supporters of the 26 pro-palestinian protesters say they will rally this morning to condemn the district attorney's decision. now, you might remember back in april, protesters took over the golden gate bridge. they appeared to be acting in coordination with other demonstrations nationwide, and they blocked the bridge

during the morning commute in an effort to protest the war. in gaza. we were there that morning as a protest brought traffic to a standstill. commuters stranded by the protests say they miss work, school flights and critical surgeries. now over the weekend, the san francisco da's office announced charges. eight people are charged with one count of felony conspiracy, while 18 have been charged with misdemeanor conspiracy. all are facing 38 counts of false imprisonment, unlawful assembly, among other charges. the da says everyone has a right to protest, but no one has a right to prevent the free movement of others. now, last year on november 16th, protesters also took over the bay bridge during the apec summit here in san francisco, 80 people then were arrested and almost 30 vehicles towed. 78 protesters were eventually ordered to do five hours of community service and pay restitution fees to avoid criminal proceedings. now, that rally that we mentioned is

scheduled for eight this morning, it will be followed by a press conference at nine at the california highway patrol office in san francisco. we'll bring you the latest there online and on air or on air and online at nbcbayarea.com. in san francisco, ginger conejero saab today in the bay got you covered on all angles. all right. thanks, ginger. san francisco police are investigating after a man was found dead near this weekend's outside lands festival. the discovery was made yesterday along nancy pelosi drive near golden gate park. police say his death does not appear to have a connection to the music festival. foul play is not suspected. as soon as today, the man charged in the half moon bay shooting rampage, a year and a half ago may receive a trial date earlier this year, chu nicasio pleaded not guilty to new grand jury charges in january of 2023. investigators say he shot and killed seven coworkers on two mushroom farms, and at one point, he confessed to nbc bay area during an

exclusive jailhouse interview. today's pretrial hearing is scheduled for 1030 this morning. well, as students return to school, there may be buzz about a possible cell phone ban. while some california schools prohibit or even limit cell phone use during the day, governor gavin newsom wants to make it an official policy for the state's 5.5 million public school students. today, in the bay's kris sanchez joins us with more on the way. one district is trying to handle that. and also, i in the classroom, i mean, these are big questions that our kids are having to face. and there's no question that cell phones can be a tremendous distraction for us, for them also, according to a survey by the advocacy group common sense media, 97% of teenagers say they use their cell phones during the school day, 72% of high school teachers and 33% of middle school teachers said cell phone distraction is a major problem in the classroom. now, california would not be the first to ban cell phone use during class time already.

florida, indiana, louisiana and south carolina banned phones during the class day or during the school day, or during classes. a handful of other states currently are either piloting policies or exploring policies. in the san ramon valley school district, the superintendent says. banning technology outright might not be the best long term strategy in our digital world, and that's true of ai as well. i think we need to help our students long term build skills and responsibilities for digital citizenship and appropriate use of technology, whether that's through cell phones or social media or in in the coming years, artificial intelligence and the many facets that will come along with that important work as well. so the concern over cell phones isn't just about the distraction, as we know they have been linked to bullying and sexual exploitation and fights and all kinds of random videos. but that's not exclusive to the

cell phone use. i mean, some schools have found that students are using their school issued devices, their tablets, their, you know, chromebooks to engage in that sort of behavior. so that's tricky too. yeah, it's a tough one there. all right. and so the thing about it is really hard to enforce all of this because you mean the phones can kind of go anywhere, right? i mean, and you can get super technical and get lock boxes, which cost money, but you can go low tech. one of my kids teachers had just like a shoe caddy. everybody slips it in, you know, box of boxes. yeah. like that. so you can do that. but it's hard to put it on the teacher. right. so it is helpful, i think, to have a broader policy. yeah. thank you chris. 638 for you this morning. if you're planning on taking bart this morning, you may want to adjust your timing today because bart making some minor schedule adjustments. oh but mike's keeping track of all he joins us with. really the bigger picture for some of these changes, too. mike good morning. there's more than just a little bit of a schedule change involved here, but bart does

this periodically these adjustments and today one goal is to allow for ridership to spread more evenly throughout their lines. they've noticed some trains, and you might have noticed they have cars that are packed in parts of the line at other times very sparsely populated. so you got to check those bart schedules and the overhead signs at the stations as well, because you might have to adjust. you might also notice other similar adjustments for other transit agencies like ac transit or caltrain, making changes to their schedules to better aligning their collective timing. so when bart has a schedule change the very same time, ac transit and vta and county connection, they'll adjust their bus schedules so that everything times up as perfectly as possible, or the very famous millbrae station. bart to caltrain. we've been working really hard to make it so it's even better when you go from one train to another. each agency is working very closely together, and we're trying to sync up our schedule changes to be twice a year at the same

exact time. yes. so she talked about millbrae, where multiple transit agencies converge on the peninsula. so many, but not all of the bay area's 27 transit agencies are part of this coordinated semiannual schedule tweak and alicia estimates they should all all 27 should be all on board for the next schedule adjustment coming up in january. now, bigger picture. this is a coordinated effort by transit agencies. all 27 agencies to make it easier and quicker to use the transit around and across the bay because that is the goal to get more folks using transit wherever they're going back to you. good to know. thanks, mike. it is 639 right now. you might call this a scene out of a comedy film. i get woken up at, you know, 4:00 in the morning and i look down and i'm convinced now it is coming from the waymos. okay, really not very funny for the people who live in this neighborhood. still ahead on today in the bay, there's a lot of late night chaos being caused by cars without a single driver to be

and you're like, okay, why are they honking? so for residents in one san francisco high rise are really a surreal late night scene there, playing out below them on the ground in that parking lot. you know, it could be funny if it wasn't so painful to hear that in the time that it happens. so what you're looking at driverless waymo cars there in that parking lot at night. this is in a lot south of market. the problem as you hear other robo taxis honking in response because they're just moving around their neighbors say this started a few weeks ago and the real thing that is really crazy about this, that it is happening around 4:00 in the morning. the cars are robotic and they're honking at each other, and there's no one in the cars when it's happening. and that's absurd. absurd, indeed. so in a statement, waymo says

that it is aware the cars are briefly honking and navigating, while in that lot. it is now identified the cause with a fix. now in the process of being implemented it is 644 right now. donald trump says he wants to end taxes on tips. scott mcgrew vice president kamala harris actually heard that and said, you know what? hey, that's not a bad idea. well let's go with that, right? i mean, because they're both remember trying to win the state of nevada, nevada's largest city, of course, is las vegas. and people can make a lot of tips there. trump was definitely the first to suggest ending the federal tax on tips. now harris saying exact same thing during her visit over the weekend. those who want to balance the budget are alarmed by the idea, because it would mean less income for the government. and keep in mind, presidents don't decide who's taxed and who's not. congress does the two candidates also very nonspecific? do they mean income tax? payroll tax? we get very few details. the harris

campaign tells us it will unveil harris's general economic plan this week. a new financial times poll, by the way, shows more people trust harris than trump on the economy, though the numbers are within the margin of error. the trump campaign, meantime, may have been hacked. politico, the first to report it over the weekend, politico reporters were approached with materials a tipster said were part of the trump campaign's internal documents about j.d. vance. a spokesperson for the campaign blames a foreign power, says it's trying to interfere with our elections. microsoft security says it did detect a hack of a campaign, but won't say which one. the trump campaign, to our knowledge, has not reported the hack to the government. you recall russian hackers were able to access internal emails from the democratic national committee during the 2016 election. at the time, trump vocally encouraged the release of democrats secrets. i will tell you this, russia, if you're listening, i

hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. i think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. vice president kamala harris in san francisco over the weekend, raising money for her campaign, capped off a whirlwind campaign tour of battleground states, including wisconsin, michigan, nevada, arizona and, of course, pennsylvania, where she introduced her running mate, tim walz. walz will campaign on his own in southern california this week. california a very safe state for democrats. trump campaigned in montana safe state for him where he lamented losing biden as a competitor. he wanted to debate if we didn't have a debate, he'd still be there. can you imagine if we didn't have a debate? how did he do? do you think he's happy with it? i don't think so. he's not too happy, you know. they took it away from him. they really did. they took it away. meantime, we heard from president biden for the first time since he decided

to step away from the race, which, by the way, was only three weeks ago. although i it's a great honor being president. i think i'm an obligation to the country to do what i the most important thing to do, and that is we must we must we must defeat trump. president biden will announce a new effort today called time is money, a push by the white house to get companies gyms, for instance, to make it easier for you to cancel the white house. pointing out some things as should be as difficult to cancel. not an accident, laura. the new rules would insist it be as easy to cancel something as it is to sign up for it in the first place. all right. thank you very much, scott. 647 right now. okay, so with paris in the rear view mirror, someone on our staff got out a calendar and actually counted. and guess what? there are now 1433 days away from the 2028 games in la. and of course, in between that, winter games will actually take place in italy. but in last night's

closing ceremony, la really took charge, leading the way with superstar tom cruise, who seemed to be everywhere diving into the stade de france on a mission, taking the olympic flag from, you know, the i guess it was the mayor of los angeles there and then magically ending up eventually on la's hollywood sign. that's where you see there. the o's and hollywood became the olympic rings. our sister station spoke with the chairman of the hollywood sign trust about what went into staging all that, which actually happened back in march. normally when there's filming done up here, no one is allowed to touch the hollywood sign. this was the first time that the hollywood sign was actually touched. you can't touch the hollywood. let tom cruise touch the hollywood sign. well, if any. if you know the guy that represents hollywood, if he if he's not privileged to touch the sign, who is okay, so never too early

to talk about what will be new for the l.a. games. they're talking about, obstacle racing. something similar to look at tom cruise. it turned out that stunt that aired that you saw there on the olympics. at the end of it all, media members were actually barred from talking about it or airing any of the video. so they kept a pretty good secret. all right. so here's what could be new for the l.a. games obstacle racing. kind of like what you see here for american ninja warrior. it will be debut as what some argue is a dated pentathlon event, which is also doing away with the horse element. also, new flag football and squash. in the meantime, baseball and softball will each return along with cricket and lacrosse sixes. plus, for now, say goodbye to break breaking at the next summer games. just when i thought i had my shot. well, you have more time to practice that i do. all right. so a very special time here at nbc bay area. you know, we're kicking off our clear the shelters

campaign, per tradition, the humane society of silicon valley. they've actually named some very special pets in our honor. i want to show you some right here. so take a look at this little gloria garcia, a cutie crossbreed mix. got a big nose. and then you see right here, this is six year old mike inouye siberian husky mix. and then kari hall five year old shorthair mix kitten. lastly, scott mcgrew, right here, ten year old cocker spaniel mix. and look, if you want to help clear the shelters, help us out. just go to nbcbayarea.com. slash clear the shelters. you can find out all the information you need there. now i know you may be wondering like okay, the dogs named after kris marcus. where are they? well, they've already been adopted, so thank you to that family. they're providing the forever home for care for kris and me. oh, and he likes regular walks and drinks and snacks. what about the dog? exactly. very true. the dog will be a lot easier. all right. very cute. all right. and it's also time to get the kids back to

school. have a lot more schools coming back online today, and we're starting out with some mid to upper 50s from palo alto to walnut creek to san francisco in low 60s. right now in san jose, it's already clear there as we head up to santa rosa, the start of our school day will be in the low 50s and mostly cloudy at drop off time at pickup time. it is going to be so nice. so maybe like a jacket and some short sleeves for today because the temperatures will go up significantly for this afternoon, but really comfortable in the middle of the day. and for the south bay, we're going to see a high of 83 in los gatos and 80 in downtown san jose. we're still seeing a few mid 80s for concord and antioch, and then some upper 70s for pleasanton, with low 70s for hayward and fremont, and then over toward the coast. it's in the low 60s. palo alto, a comfortable 77 degrees, and at times it may be a little bit breezy for the afternoon, especially in san francisco with the highs in the mid 60s

downtown and in the mission district and napa up to 84 today, and 90 in ukiah, in mill valley, some low 70s. so you can see our temperatures are still kind of all over the place, but our valleys have been pretty warm by the end of the week. we are expecting some significant cooling, a change in our weather pattern from the end of the weekend, and possibly extending into next week. but as we take a look at walnut creek, we are still looking at some very mild weather for much of the week and for this time of year. this is right on target for what's normal for the beginning to middle of august and our temperatures just going up and down just slightly. so nothing really significant here, but it will be slightly cooler again for the weekend. and in san francisco we're in the mid to upper 60s one day up to 70. we'll see that with the peak of the temperatures on wednesday. mike, do we have another issue on the bay bridge? heard about something. thought it was going to be a major issue. but we're looking at the live look. we do see the incline moving smoothly.

disabled vehicle reported as you head toward the treasure island exit. we don't see any disruption on that live look. we don't really see any additional slowing on this westbound direction, so i'll keep monitoring it for a few more minutes. there is good recovery toward the berkeley curve, but there's the build coming through berkeley itself. so the timing was really lucky about the earlier car fire that cleared. there's a moore slowing in richmond. i think there may be a crash. as you approach central. we'll track that. but the rest of the east bay, the rest of the bay is a pretty standard monday, with the south bay just kicking in. back to you. thank you very much. well, happening now we're learning new details about the death of a humpback whale at fort funston in san francisco over the weekend. experts now say it likely died in an orca attack. the young whale measured 31ft long. california academy of sciences says it could be the same whale that they'd received, reports about. it was spotted off the coast and close to the golden gate bridge last thursday, and we're back in just three minutes with a look at your top stories this morning, including set to surrender demonstrators who shut down the golden gate bridge this year have until today to turn

themselves in. we're going to talk about those new charges they face. plus, today is the first day of school in oakland, and anyone taking the school bus, well, they're going to be the same bus, but it's going to sound a little different. we're going to explain that and much

ordinary is the opposite of beautiful. beauty drops our jaws. dilates our eyes. and beauty is something we can create... right now... at floor & decor.

forward with a look at our top stories here on today in the bay. in a few hours, more than two dozen protesters charged in the april shutdown of the golden gate bridge are set to surrender to authorities. the 26 pro-palestinian demonstrators actions blocked the bridge for hours, bringing traffic to a standstill. commuters missed work, school flights and critical surgeries. the protesters say they plan to

rally to condemn the da's decision. also today, the long promised downgrade to the trauma center at san jose regional medical center. so hca healthcare originally planned to close it completely, but in a compromise reached last month, the company agreed to downgrade it to a category three trauma center. one hospital spokesperson says it will continue to provide emergency services for all of its patients. there's a big change on tap today as oakland schools kick off the new year. the district is debuting new electric busses. not only that, but oakland is the first district anywhere to convert its entire fleet to all electric. we're talking 74 busses in all, all made by a company in redwood city called zoom, spelled zeum. when the busses are plugged in overnight, the excess power will be sent back to the grid as part of a pilot program. all right, well, kids heading out this morning, do they pack a jacket? yes absolutely. it's starting out cool. we have a lot of low 50s on the map, and we're headed for the mid 80s. and some of our inland valleys and concord and

morgan hill. we're going to see some mid 80s, but mostly 70s and slightly warmer midweek. and we're looking at a smooth drive here. the build up through richmond on 580 interstate 80. but here's 580 heading over toward the north bay where the build up is at the toll plaza itself. remember to bring those jackets home. if you bring them to school. yeah, i was going to say when he's like, the kids are packing the jacket, i'm like, no, the parents are the parents. and writing their names on them too. hey, the today show just moments away. however, for more local news today in the bay streams now on roku, pluto and other platforms live at 8:00. we're catching up with olympic gold medalist dominique dawes. remember that name? that'll be fun to talk to her. all right, well, that's what's happening here on today in the bay. don't forget to make it ♪ ♪ good monday morning. the paris olympics now good morning, the paris olympics now in the books. >> good morning, it's august
